Ugh!!! We can’t afford the venue I LOVE and now I have to pick a new one. I feel like none that I look at are even close to what I would want. They are all nice and are pretty but I feel like none of them measure up to the venue I love

I’m sorry! This might sound weird, but my advice would be to look for a totally different style venue that you like. For example, my dream venue was on the Detroit River – it is on an upper level and has floow-to-ceiling windows so you have an amazing view of the skyline and sunset, and after the sun sets they have awesome colored fountains shooting up in front of the window. Couldn’t afford it, so I went in the opposite direction and picked a woodsy nature venue. Still love it but it doesn’t at all remind me of my dream venue so that I don’t have to feel sad about it, haha.

@maureen9004: Yes! I had my senior prom there and it took awhile but I’m finally over the fact that I can’t afford it for the wedding, haha.
